April 1942

Monday, April 19th


Eastern Front

CENTRAL SECTOR

The remnants of the 33rd Army try to break out east but are trapped, many men being killed in the ensuing fighting. Minor elements did succeed in reaching the 43rd Army, but by far the bulk of the 33rd together with its commanding officer, Gen Efremov, fall in the battle.
